Chris Haynes: I did reach out to Giannis, and he spoke to me about just being where his feet are planted. He said that’s where his focus is. He reminded me of something he said five years ago: “Chris, remember what I told you five years ago?” I said, “No, tell me.” He said, “There are people who see a door and want to hurry up and escape through it. But I see a wall and I want to run through the wall and make things work.” He said that’s his focus—run through the wall, make things work, get healthy, and be there for his team. He also said he doesn’t know what’s going on behind the scenes with the front office regarding his future. His focus is getting healthy and not running from situations.
